475. Steamed buns
Everyone slept for a while before getting up in the afternoon.
When they went to the big kitchen, Aunt Zhou and the others had already processed all the meat for the morning.
Most of the meat is boiled in oil, and the oil residue is mixed with wild vegetables to make steamed bun fillings.
When Nuannuan and the others came, the kitchen was very busy. When Aunt Zhou saw them coming, she wiped her hands on her apron and came out.
"Nuan Nuan is here, ** is back. What are the results of your daughter-in-law's examination?"
Seeing them making buns, Jiang Ma also washed her hands and came over to make them together.
Making buns and chatting at the same time.
"There is no problem, the child is healthy."
Everyone was talking and laughing.
There was a fire in both large pots, and Widow Ma's mother-in-law and the old woman from the morning were sitting on one side and lighting the fire.
There are two or three-year-old children at home playing in the yard. The other children are nowhere to be seen, and I don’t know what they are doing.
Nuannuan looked at Aunt Zhou.
"Auntie, why haven't I seen your tiger? He went fishing again."
Children are very playful. As long as the ice on the river melts, there will be no shortage of children by the river all year round.
Just talking.
Huzi came again with his group of friends.
He excitedly held up the basket in his hand.
"Grandma, look what we did, we picked so many wild vegetables."
Behind Huzi were the children who were with him yesterday, all of them carrying small baskets in their hands.
The little basket was so full that Aunt Zhou was speechless.
"What are you monkeys doing? What are you doing with all these wild vegetables?"
It took a lot of effort to finish the wild vegetables from yesterday, and they are here again today.
"Are you clearing away the turf on the mountain? Why are you picking so many wild vegetables?"
Hu Zi felt a little embarrassed after being scolded by his grandma.
"Grandma, Aunt Nuannuan is still here. Can you save some face for me? I am a man."
This made everyone laugh.
At this time, the first steamed buns were cooked and steaming.
As soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the aroma comes out.
The children looked in at the door one by one.
The fat, white buns on the steamer look so adorable.
Even Aunt Zhou and the others swallowed their saliva when they saw it.
Widow Ma’s mother-in-law’s eyes widened.
He quickly covered his pounding heart.
"Oh my God, I have never seen such white buns."
The bun is so white that it dazzles people’s eyes.
Widow Ma’s mother-in-law is from the older generation, and the farthest place she has been to in her life is the town.
When I was young, I saw people selling steamed buns, but the buns were not as white as they are now.
The fried oil residue is used to make steamed buns, which tastes delicious.
Aunt Zhou came to her senses, quickly brought over the prepared basin, and picked up the buns one by one. There was a big basin full of them.
Then he put another steamer down.
Look at the steaming buns.
The children are so greedy that they are almost drooling.
Warm greetings to everyone.
"Don't be stunned, wash your hands quickly and come over to eat steamed buns. These are the wild vegetables you picked."
The children immediately became excited when they heard this. They were about to walk inside one by one, but Huzi quickly stopped them.
Those with small faces look like adults.
"Auntie said, wash your hands and eat steamed buns. Did you hear me? Go outside and wash your hands clean before coming back to eat steamed buns."
After saying that, he took them out, scooped some water into the basin, and put a soap next to it, asking them to wash their hands cleanly and line up to get the buns.
Huzi’s leadership skills are quite good.
Nuannuan gave him a thumbs up, "That's great."
The children happily held the buns.
No one is willing to eat it.
There is a little girl looking at Nuannuan carefully.
Move your steps slowly over.
"Auntie, can I take this bun home?"
There is prayer in those clear eyes.
Nuannuan did not agree to her.
He knelt down and touched her head gently.
"Tell my aunt why you need to take the buns home to eat. Isn't it good to eat them here?"
The little girl looked at the buns in her hands and tried her best to hold back her saliva.
Said: "This bun is so good, I want to take it back to my grandparents to eat, and also let my parents eat it."
The little girl's clothes were washed and turned white, and her whole body was patched.
They are all clean and tidy. You can tell from one look that the atmosphere in their home is very good.
There is no preference for boys over girls, and there is no preference.
Then Nuannuan took another bun and handed it to the child.
"Two buns per person, this is what you deserve. You can take it home to eat."
These buns are as big as an adult's palm, and the children all hold them with two hands. When I get another bun, they can't hold it anymore.
Everyone looked at Nuan Nuan in surprise, bowed to her one after another, and said thank you.
Nuannuan waved her hand and asked everyone to go back quickly.
Most of the big pot of steamed buns was gone in an instant.
Aunt Zhou looked distressed, but she didn't say anything. After all, this thing belongs to Nuan Nuan, and they can deal with it how they want. They have no say.
Jiang Ma also came over and picked up the buns and took a bite. The taste was salty, fragrant and delicious, especially the crispy fried dumplings, which were so fragrant.
She picked up a bun and put it in Widow Ma's hand.
"You all hurry up and eat. Don't be stunned. If these buns get cold, they may not taste good."
Aunt Zhou was not pretentious and took a bite generously.
Huzi and Yanzi did not leave, they were waiting aside. He and Yanzi shared a bun to eat together. The bun was very fragrant.
After all the buns were put on the steamer, everyone was free. Aunt Zhou divided them into two groups. One group packed the pots and pans, and some went to sort out the wild vegetables the children picked today. These wild vegetables cannot be wrapped again.
Steamed buns.
After sorting it out, wait until all the steamed buns are steamed and then boil water in a pot, cook these vegetables, add seasonings to the water and mix it into a cold dish.
Look at those buns.
Aunt Zhou looked at Nuannuan.
"Nuan Nuan, what are you going to do with these buns?"
What about the two large basins?
Nuannuan looked at Aunt Zhou dumbfounded.
"Auntie, you don't want me to take these buns home to eat, right? Our family can't finish them no matter what."
Aunt Zhou knew she would say this, so she took a clean bowl and put a few in it, and she took care of the rest.
"I will leave some of these buns for you, and sell the rest. Just like at noon, you will get half a work share for the steamed buns and half a share for the cold dishes. What do you think?"
Aunt Zhou’s price is very reasonable.
